For those who have been following my blog, you would probably realize that for me, fillers doesn’t last long on my nose and cheeks. However, I wasn’t ready to go for surgical implants (aka a permanent nose job). The thought of it just scares me – especially when my two not-so-small dogs love to cuddle up with me (what if they paw’ed my nose!? 🐾😱).

But no, I didn’t give up washing for a sharper and smoother nose line… Contouring using makeup helps to create the illusion of a sharper nose but from the side view, the small bump on my nose ridge is still there.

No amount of makeup could help hide that other than Mei Tu Xiu Xiu (it’s branded by many to be the Photoshop-ish beauty app of mobile phones, some even say it’s even better than Photoshop.) #照骗😪

8 Medical Aesthetic is located in the heart of Town.

After much research about the procedure I wanted, Reene from 8 Medical Aesthetic helped me to arrange a consultation with Dr. Daniel Chang!

True to its branding of being a “Lunchtime Procedure” – you can literally get it done during your lunch break and head back to your daily operations immediately after that!

I went down to 8 Medical Aesthetic located at Cuppage Road during a weekday lunch in-between my events and meetings as the whole procedure is pretty fast (less than 30 minutes for Dermalift and HIKO Nose Threadlift) – unlike the traditional medical procedures.

It’s so fast that your friends and colleagues will wonder where you went or did that made you much prettier suddenly in just a lunch break. *flips hair* #心机美人👸🏼✨

Not too long ago, I was actually shopping at one of the well-known pet “megamarts” in Singapore with my little Japanese Spitz, Yandao, like most other fur-parents. No doubt the shopping part was fun, but alas, the carrying of dog food, together with huge, bulky accessories proved really painful… especially when you’re not driving!

I came to know about them just a few days back, and wow, did they have the largest inventory I’ve even seen in an online pet store.

True, they’re not the *only* online pet store in Singapore, but I dare say they have the widest variety of products and arguably amazing prices. Plus, their free delivery quota is only $60!! I don’t really think its feasible for a pet store to ask for a minimum of $200 unless you’re stocking up daily staples such as food(kibbles?) and pee-pads(if your little furry ones do it indoors), etc.

You know especially… on some of the days when you’re a good mood to spend a little extra cash out of the sudden or feel like getting little surprise for your furkid(s). Or else it’s kinda a challenge to “hit” when you’re just trying some stuffs. ?

Those of you who know me would actually know that I *love* shopping – but hate all the hassle of carrying loads of stuff back home. I mean, don’t we all?

..and, the best part was, they’re *all* about the freebies. You know how it gets awkward at the pet shop counter when you have to point and ask for a specific “free” item? Not anymore! There’s basically a whole section of freebies which you can grab all you want from in Kohepets, too!

I placed my order, and waited 2 days… and as promised, a package with enough goodies to spoil Yandao for a while arrived! (Spot the paws ?)

As most of you might have noticed from my social media accounts (*hint* follow me at @YingVannie *hint*), my features seemed to be a little sharper recently and complexion got even way better. ? I promised I would do a blogpost on what I’ve done to my face so here I am!

..though I’m gonna have to warn you, this is a lengthly post.

Due to time constraints, I’ve spilt the different treatments from Dr. Daniel into 2 visits instead. As there wasn’t much downtime for either my visits, I was free to rush for my next event after that without worrying about my looks.

My main concern is of course, my complexion, due to a previous severe outbreak. I was left pretty much scarred inside (heart) and out (face). Lol ?? As my age is (undoubtedly) catching up, my second priority was a shaper and tighter face.

Dr. Daniel Chang is an expert not only in dermatology but also has a vast area of expertise in Korean medical aesthetics. I still remember my first time visiting Dr. Daniel almost 2 years ago for a laser treatment. I left his clinic with amazing glowing skin for my modelling role in the Singapore Motorshow. Can’t believe that time passes so fast!

Hi everybody~~~? Here is a photo of me! Just that, this time round with no contact lenses to enhance my eyes because I’ve perfect eyesight now. *Flips hair* ?

I’ve received many questions from y’all (including my friends) and the very top concerns that I’ve been receiving are;

Can you see immediately after the Trans-epiLASIK surgery?

Yes, you can… but only about 70% – Your vision would be similar to as if you’ve just stepped-out from a cold place (a bit foggy). The first 3 days after I done my Trans-epiLASIK, my eyesight fluctuates like mad – one moment it’s super clear, the next moment I couldn’t even read what’s on my handphone screen despite putting it almost infront of me.

The 3rd day onwards, My vision remained pretty stable (occasionally a bit blur, but it went off after blinking several times).

The reason was due to that the eye cells were still moving around, thus the fluctuation. Some might takes a few months for their eyesight to stable down. SOME.

How high is your degree/astigmatism? Is it fully corrected?

Can’t really remember my astigmatism, but it’s pretty high if I didn’t remember wrongly. My degree is about 700 for both eyes. Like most people, I do have the concern of under-correcting/over-correcting, especially when there’s a saying that the higher your degree, the harder it is to achieve perfect eyesight.

That’s why it’s EXTREMELY important to choose the right doctor and also the one that you feel safe and comfortable with. Dr. Tony Ho from Clearvision is not only a well-recognised and respected figure in the Singapore refractive surgery arena, but also has over 25 years of specialty experience.

Thanks to Dr. Tony that I achieved something that I never dreamt of – PERFECT eyesight! ? I’ve posted a chart of my favourite zeros later on in this blogpost. ? There’s still a bit of unnoticeable fluctuation currently as the eye cells still moving.

How do you make your eyes looks bigger without dolly contact lens? Do you feel your eyes looks “dead” or look like it loses its focus (in other words, pak jiao or soulless) after LASIK?

There’re many ways to create the illusion of bigger eyes without dolly contact lenses. To name a few – heavier eye make-up (such as thicker eyeliner), falsies or eyelash extensions.

Nope. Just look at my photo that I have posted above, does my eyes looks “soul-less”?☝? Nope! I feel that my eyes even looks brighter than before!

I did Tran-epiLasik which doesn’t involve any cutting of the corneal flap (“cutting” is the culprit that potentially leads to eye dryness).

Having perfect eyesight now means there’s no need for contact lenses. No matter how highly permeable or “breathable” your contact lenses are, especially during days when you wear contact lens for long hours, you’re bound to experience some sort of dry eyes. After all, there’s a “plastic” covering your eyes from breathing.

Lubricant (for eyes!) Not only refreshes and moisturises your eyes (like what normal eye drops do), but also gives your eyes the watery, shiny, waxy(?) look! It can be used on normal, healthy eyes (why didn’t I find out the existence of such products earlier?! *Hiaomood on aka bimbo mood*)

The eyepatch and shades are included in the Trans-epiLASIK package. Separate cost for the lubricant eyedrops.
